MySpace Bulletin Case Study

By David Turnbull
First, I selected an appropriate offer from Azoogle.

' F& k9 d* t3 @: s. s$ @Payout: $1.40

# L, L, y" r9 r  A, p8 V1 xWhy did I choose this offer?
" J% \. j! O  ~0 E! n- Pays for just the E-Mail; a simple action that can be completed by 99% of people.
- Decent Payment ($1.40); One of the higher paying iPod offers so I thought it was a good choice.
- Good Reward (iPod Nano); iPods are all the craze lately, some may say it is saturated but a lot of people still don???t have, and want an iPod.
, b! W8 J7 }. T. \- Appeals to my demographic; It???s usually the younger people wanting iPods, so 18-25 is usually a good range.

, o1 w  P- m4 L# ]4 pI have a MySpace account with 5400 friends (as of now) and I posted a simple bulletin with the following fields:

Subject: WOW!!! THIS IS SO EASY!!!
Body: Anyone with a MySpace account can get a FREE iPod just by entering your email address into this form!!!" CLICK HERE!!!

The Results?
Nothing too spectacular. I got about 10 people clicking on my Link and half of them completed the offer, so I didn???t make too much.

Why? Probably because I???ve used this account for advertising in the past and people have become wary to avoid my bulletins. I did convert at 50% though, so that???s very good ??「 I just needed more clicks.

Here is some motivation to get started, as MySpace Bulletin advertising definitely can work.

8 M# @! s  L# H4 L) a! T) M/ zYou have 100 Accounts with 5000 Friends each.*
Post a bulletin on each account.
$ T' W0 B" g! L/ B+ d* S- yEach gives $4.20 (Just 3 Conversions!)$420 in your pocket.
4 e  _/ H" L" M) M! D3 GThat is a very rough example, but definitely possible.

& r2 s) e  R  U: wBulletins get buried fairly quickly also, so if you post 3 a day, and say you get an average of $2 per bulletin.

Post a bulletin on each account 3 Times a Day.

$6.00 x 100 Accounts

) z. [5 K  E* Y; f" Z: [*You may not have 100 Accounts with 5000 Friends each, so maybe cut a deal with other MySpacers (basically revenue sharing) and decide to advertise one Azoogle offer together and then split the profits accordingly.
